Why is your project necessary?
This project is necessary because it will be instrumental in making highest quality free World University and School OpenCourseWare-centric university and high school education available online in the US and in all ~200 countries’ official languages.
(WUaS will develop out of CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare, with these MIT OCW Creative Commons' licensing & endorsement clarifications:
a) MIT is not affiliated with, & does not endorse, World Univ & Sch b) MIT does not offer credit to WUaS students, & c) All MIT OpenCourseWare materials are available for free through http://ocw.mit.edu. MIT OCW has asked WUaS to post this where we mention MIT OCW such as here: http://worlduniversityandschool.org.
For WUaS to be free in any proposal, MIT OCW’s CC-4 license - Creative Commons License - Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) - means that MIT OCW can be A) shared, B) adapted, but C) not commercially).
